Good at first until...... I noticed the advertising at the top of the screen that will not disappear until you restart the game. I'll reduce my rating from a 4 to a 1 until this is fixed. I paid for the game therefore you do not need to pull money from others from the act of me using MY property that I purchased. I bought it. Its my game.....understand? If you want to sell advertising space on my purchased games then give me my money back and change the game to the free format.

Woeful I love centipede so if you are going to use the name and the Atari brand you better be up to the job. How its possible to turn a game that ran well on 80's hardware into this debilitatingly slow pan handling state of paralysis is beyond me. Amazed that something carrying the iconic Atari brand still runs adverts (huge ones that look more interesting than the game) after you've paid for download. I can only imagine they realised nobody would pay for this after a free demo. Avoid.

Refund Game doesn't open at all every time I click it i get unfortunately centipede has stopped working hasn't worked since day I bought it. I've reported it every time I want my money back it's a rip off.

Ads on pay version If I could give it fewer stars I would. This is disappointing, if the just made it like the old Atari 5200 or would fine. But touchscreen for input does not work correctly. It needs a lot of work. Ads make playing the game impossible covering buttons in order to play.

After the update, no good! By far my favorite game, next to asteroids. Til my phone updated itself n now I can't even open it, even after deleting and reinstalling! WTH is wrong with it?

WARNING: Don't Buy This! LG G3: Doesn't run. Perhaps you will have the same problem. Contacted Atari for refund or for a fix. Of course, they don't reply quick enough for you to get a refund via Google's refund time limit policy. Congrats Atari! Well done.

Good Beta Release Game has an overall good look and feel. Many performance issues not hardware related. Gnome's rate of fire changes based upon distance just like the original but it isn't working properly, often just pausing his shots. Mobs blink out and don't get hit. Control of Gnome can be interrupted at random and then you have quickly try to click on the control icon below him instead of the gnome himself. Not good for an action-based game and not very intuitive. I expect more from Atari.

Only takes money Bought the game, it still have ads!!! Paid for upgrades but it was canceled by the server, and they still took my money!!!! FIX FIX FIX FIX FIX FIX FIX FIX where is your after sales service, bug fixes and software upgrades. Doesn't help to warn people, now fix for the money you have alread made out of tousands of people!!!

Awesome This game is great! The ultimate upgrade to an old classic! For those of you having trouble on phones, I am thinking this game works best on tablets. I use an Acer with latest system updates and it works like a champ.

I PAID for the game and STILL get ads?! Fun game but you insult us all, collecting our money and still forcing a HUGE ad that gets in the way of selections on the screen. What a ripoff.....1-star until you change that.

Mythology All Wrong... To me centipede should revolve around tiny aliens confronting an insect world for one. Second as corny as the sound effects were in the original it made more sense on some strange level, adding an playing off it would have deepened the experience. And I just cannot get over the sense that the landscape upon which all this action is playing out should be part of the game, the ground rising and fall, keeping one from getting to the centipede...even better why not have borrowing worms. All of it feels too static. Loose the place yourself gadgets an powerups, just give me an activation button...

Dont know what everyone is complaining about Wish the arrows were more visisble so it is easier to shoot the heads and the crickets are a little too fast but overall great game everyone just has a bad ipad

This really sucks This is horrible I should file a lawsuit against this company, you buy the game it doesn't work why the hell do you sell this if it doesn't work .Nothin but a bunch of shysters I want my money back or I'll sue.

Update deleted my earnings and purchases!!! Poor control, much too hard.. there's never a reason to over fill the screen from the start and you can't shoot fast enough, also a money sucker for a small repetitive annoying game!!

Awesome Game & Love Atari I absolutely love Centipede Origins. Atari has done it again. My only reason for 4 stars is that I paid for the game so should have no ads in game. Please update and remove ads like your other games.
